Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western New York
National Weather Service Buffalo NY
133 AM EDT Sun May 26 2024

.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will build across the region overnight and provide us
with quiet weather...though light winds and mainly clear skies will
allow for the development of areas of fog and low clouds. The high
will then drift across our area on Sunday and provide us with a
pleasant middle day of the long holiday weekend. A complex storm
system tracking across the Upper Great Lakes will then bring rather
unsettled weather into our region for Memorial Day...when some
strong thunderstorms and locally heavy downpours will be possible.
